DON'T:
- Travel with pets who don't enjoy the experience, who are not fully housetrained, or who have behaviour or health issues that are not conducive to travel.
- Allow pets to run towards or jump up on other guests.
- Allow dogs to bark or otherwise disturb other guests.
- Permit pets to lie on furniture or beds unless you
- have the host or manager's permission
- bring your own covers for the furniture.
- Leave your pet unattended in an unfamiliar environment unless
- you have permission to do so
- you notify the front desk and leave a cell phone or other number where you can be contacted
- your pet is crated or has proven reliable when alone in an unfamiliar environment.
- Allow pets to roam freely unless
- you have permission to do so
- you are in an area that permits dogs to run off-leash
- your dog is well-socialized
- your dog is under control and will come on recall.
- Sneak in your pet!
DO:
- Mention your pet to the reservations desk at the time of booking. This will allow them to prepare for your stay, such as getting you a room with easy access to the outdoors and preparing any "pet amenities" they may offer.
- Ask for details about their pet policy, including rules, pet restrictions, and extra fees.
- Respect the rules (if you don't like them, find another place whose pet policies are more in line with your own pet 'philosophy').
- Slowly get your pet accustomed to travel if he isn't already.
- Bring your pet's personal "stuff" like food and water bowls, favourite toy, bedding, food, treats, etc. A pet travel checklist is available here.
- Clean up after your pet, both indoors and outdoors. People who don't pick up after their dogs is one of the major complaints from accommodation owners & managers.
- Take responsibility for any damages done by your pet.
- Be a good ambassador for all pets who travel with their families! family - pets included!
